JavaScript: Tips of the Day

Returns true if the elements of the first array are contained in the second one regardless of order, false otherwise

Example:

const tips_ContainedIn = (a, b) => {
  for (const v of new Set(a)) {
    if (!b.some(e => e === v) || a.filter(e => e === v).length > b.filter(e => e === v).length)
      return false;
  }
  return true;
};

console.log(tips_ContainedIn([1, 4, 5], [2, 4, 1, 5, 6]));

Output:

true
